Slashable stake bonds raise the price of every fake identity. Before an agent can earn, it locks a deposit that drains like a river into a shared pool if peers prove it double-voted or colluded with its own clones. One account is cheap, but a grove of a thousand sybils needs a thousand bonds, all at risk the moment one is caught, so the attacker pays linearly for influence and loses everything at once. Reaching the summit of reputation means capital at stake, not just more accounts.
